Former Deputy Speaker of the Rivers state House of Assembly, Leyii Kwanee, said on Friday that plans had begun to reconcile the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, and Senator Magnus Abe.

Kwanee and the group maintained that the move was necessary in order to ensure that the state APC won the 2019 general election.

Speaking with newsmen during a joint press briefing in Port Harcourt, the former deputy speaker, who is the leader of the Ogoni Unity Initiative, maintained that the recent National Convention of the APC had considerably resolved the crisis rocking the party at the state level.

Kwanee, who insisted that reconciling Amaechi and Abe was achievable, added that all aggrieved members from the main opposition party in the state would unite ahead of next year’s elections.

“It is true that the successful organisation of the national convention of the APC has to a large extent resolved the problem we have in the party in the state.

“There is no disagreement in the party again. There were assertions that the congress of the party held in Rivers would not have effect and that its delegates would not vote, but that assertion was proved wrong.

“The Ogoni Unity Initiative is aligning itself with Rivers Unity House to ensure that the PDP government does not come back to Government House in 2019,” he added.

He also assured APC members that Amaechi and Abe would stand on the same rostrum to campaign after the duo had sheathed their sword.
